7 years ago, when Bonzzaj was founded, there were 5 guys who shared a same vision. To name them: Florian Giger, Gabriel Giger, Pascal Wenger, Kilian Eyholzer and Roberto Balet.

7 years ago, when Bonzzaj was founded, there were 5 guys who shared a same vision. To name them: Florian Giger, Gabriel Giger, Pascal Wenger, Kilian Eyholzer and Roberto Balet. They grow up in a small city called Leuk embedded in the swiss canton of Valais, a stone’s throw away from Ticino and Italy, a place distinguishing itself through excellent wines, rugged mountains, much sun and some sort of desert-like lonelyness. They shared the same musically vision and began to organise concerts and partys in the middle of exoctic valais. The sucess was great and a strong company of people (djs, producers, musiclovers) was growing up. In these five years Bonzzaj started also a radioshow on Radio Rabe in Berne, which is still on air all two weeks. With the sucsess of the own things and the collaboration with other national people sharing the same musically vision, they toured with their soundsystem all over the country. In 2006 the first release on Bonzzaj Recordings called Nemoy „Afraw“ was released worldwide, followed by the 12" EP "Spiis/Soulfood" with hiphop, folk and jazz fused joints by Skymark, The Tomorrow People, Questionmark, Lu-Fuki and Nemoy. In 2008 Bonzzaj released together with the Bernese label "A few among others" the first of a few 7" Vinyl records with tracks from Sam Irl & Dorian Concept and Echo Skill Hifi.
The reason to start a label was to reach a worldwide audience. Bonzzaj tries to put the exotic area Valais in Switzerland and his talented artists on tha map of worldwide music. But also international artists are releasing on the label. The music of Bonzzaj Recordings...mmh...we hate this question. there is so much to listen to...jazz, funk, hiphop, soul, broken beat, detroit, afrobeat, brazil, house, d'n'b...you name it!
